His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 236

Overnight, Glynnis seemed to be the talk of the town once again, and every time she was, it was something monumental.

Not only that, but she had caused the Abernathy Group's stocks to evaporate by billions in a single day—an impressive feat in its own right.

On the night of the incident, Ada publicly announced to the press her intention to cancel her collaboration with Abernathy Hotel.

The next day, the news continued to simmer, the Abernathy Group's stocks plummeted, and online criticism of Glynnis never ceased.

"Some heiresses are phoenixes, others are less than chickens. Take Ms. Evadne for instance, beautiful, kind-hearted, and enormously talented, she could manage a hotel and design jewelry."

"But there were some who only knew how to scheme and cheat, their hearts full of ill intentions. Ada's first visit to Elmsworth was a complete embarrassment!"

"Stop comparing our dear Ms. Alea with Glynnis. She simply doesn't measure up!"

"I'm not the least bit surprised by Glynnis' actions. It's the classic case of the apple not falling far from the tree, if you know what I mean."

"Really though, are there any good people left in the Abernathy Group? What kind of twisted family is this? Can the authorities do something?"

On the third day after the incident, Thaddeus called an emergency executive meeting, without even informing Frederic.

At the conference table, Glynnis' seat was empty. She had been calling in sick these past few days, probably too embarrassed to show her face.

"Let's get straight to the point," Thaddeus leaned forward, his long elegant body hunched slightly over the table. His dark eyes were intimidating, "I believe everyone here knows what happened at the charity event at K Hotel."

The room was silent. Everyone seemed to agree.

"Now, on behalf of the Abernathy Group, I will announce the outcome."

Thaddeus motioned to Gordon, who immediately produced a document and began to read aloud,

"The Abernathy Group's board member, Miss Glynnis, has had a detrimental negative impact on the group.

Effective immediately, Glynnis' board membership is revoked, her hotel project planning rights are withdrawn, and she is instructed to fully cooperate with the police investigation.

As for the severe consequences caused by Glynnis' improper handling of Ada's wedding planning, it is her personal act. The Abernathy Group is not responsible. Glynnis is personally liable for any damages caused by infringing K Orld Hotel's rights, and the group will not provide any help!"

Everyone was stunned! Uproar!

Glynnis was the chairman's daughter, Thaddeus' sister. Even if they were half-siblings, this punishment was quite harsh!

Thaddeus' righteousness over familial ties was quite ruthless!

"I won't accept this punishment!"

A shrill voice rang out. Elspeth, adorned in lavish jewelry, stormed into the room with the air of a chairman's wife, full of rage.

Thaddeus looked up coldly, "People unrelated to the meeting should not be here, Mr. Gordon."

"Understood, Mr. Thaddeus!"

Gordon quickly stepped forward to block Elspeth, "Ma'am, Mr. Thaddeus is in a meeting. I need you to leave immediately."

"Who are you to tell me to leave?"

Elspeth was furious. She grabbed Gordon's collar and gave it a fierce tug, "I am the wife of the Chairman of the Abernathy Group! The whole group belongs to the Abernathy family, who are you to tell me to leave?"

The executives in the room looked at this furious woman with sideways glances.

Thaddeus slowly curled his lip, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "The Abernathy Group doesn't have a position called 'Frederic's wife'."

Elspeth's eyes turned red at his words.

The executives laughed quietly.

"As for Glynnis' punishment, I have already released the document, and I will also send it to all staff of the group."

Thaddeus leaned back, his eyes as sharp as a blade, "The punishment is not a joke. It's not something you can change just because you disagree, Elspeth."

Elspeth's face went pale, as if she had just been hit on the back of the head. She took a step back, her eyes turning green with rage.

She thought, "This bastard, he dared to call me Elspeth in such a disrespectful way in front of everyone! It was a clear insult!"

As expected, the executives' gaze on her gradually changed, showing a hint of disdain.

"Even if you are the president, you can't arbitrarily deal with the group's board members! This matter should be decided by the chairman! How can you act first and report later?" Elspeth had no choice but to use Frederic to suppress him.

Thaddeus raised his lip, offering a weighty comeback, "Are you suggesting, Elspeth, that the chairman will definitely condone Glynnis' actions?

Even if she is suspected of commercial theft, fraud, causing the Abernathy Group's stocks to evaporate by billions overnight, the chairman will still protect her position, and let her continue to hold a high position, just because she is the chairman's daughter?"

His words were like a knife, cutting deep into Elspeth's arguments.

The executives looked at Elspeth with sharp, scrutinizing eyes.

She felt a chill run down her spine, her scalp tingling with rage and embarrassment.

"I know there is no absolute fairness in the workplace. The fairness we see is like a magnificent robe, full of lice underneath."

Thaddeus' eyes were sharp, and his words hit the ground running, "But as long as I am still the CEO of this company, I will not let those parasites cause trouble. As long as I'm here, they won't see the light of day."

He didn't curse at Elspeth at all.

But Elspeth felt as if she had been thoroughly scolded.

The moment he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

A few seconds later, the top brass, with their eyes wide open, were moved by Mr. Thaddeus' righteous speech. The applause was deafening.

...

After the meeting, the news of Elspeth making a scene at the top-level meeting spread throughout the company. Everyone gathered to mock the current Chairman's wife's ridiculous behavior.

She actually stormed into the meeting room, what kind of behavior is that! Even a dog wouldn't do that!

The news of Glynnis being dismissed was also sent out to everyone via email.

"Finally, she's been removed. There is justice in this world!"

"It's not about justice, it's about Mr. Thaddeus! When I get home, I'm going to put up a handsome photo of Mr. Thaddeus and worship him every day. This is the light of justice!"
